Chapter 116 Dinner and Dessert
ALICE
I made lasagna, but only because it was the safest option in my eyes.
In reality, I could've prepared anything else. Theo's fridge was fully stocked with all sorts of delicious ingredients.
I sat close to him at the dining table and we both ate silently. He let out appreciative noises every other minute, so I knew it was good.
Every time I looked around his living area, I couldn't help but feel like there was an emptiness to the place that felt almost scary. It was still a beautiful home, that wasn't the case at all, but I wondered how he could come back to this place time and time again. I bet it was bursting with life back when Francesca owned it.
I understood his motivations for staying here, even though the place was absolutely too big for just one person, but it made me realize that Theo was lonely most of the time.
I was glad I didn't let him come back here alone.
"Tell me what you're thinking," he said suddenly.
I squirmed in my seat. "I...Nothing much."
The smile curving his lips let me know that he knew it was more than nothing, and I decided to share my thoughts with him. "I just think that this place is too big for one man."
"You're right about that," he agreed, bringing a forkful of tomatoey pasta up to his lips. "But the memories this place holds don't let me see things that way. I spent most of my life in this place, if I'm being honest. I hated the apartment I used to live in before moving here. This house, I tolerate."
I snickered.
A few seconds later, I realized that he looked pensive, and I feared that I'd said the wrong thing. I said lightly, "Now it's your turn to tell me what's on your mind."
"I'm worried about Granny," he claimed. "I found her doctor's behavior so damn suspicious. What if he's keeping something from us?"
I swallowed the hard knot forming in my throat. "Like what?"
"I don't know. What if whatever made her pass out was more serious than just shock? I don't know." He brought his hands together and the rest of his food was forgotten. "I feel like I should've done more. She's my grandmother, for crying out loud. Who else is supposed to care for her? Maybe I should go back."
I knew that there was no way that could happen. What if he discovered something he shouldn't? Francesca would tell them about her condition when she felt it was right. Sure, I couldn't control this whole situation, but I could try to help her the same way she helped me.
I inched closer to him and ran my fingers through his hair. "Theo, I think you're overreacting here. If her doctor says she's fine, then why should you doubt it?"
He just shook his head.
"I think we've all had a long day. Visiting hours are over now. You're really going to cause a scene that'll make her stand up to pull your ear?"
He smiled at the scenario my words formed in his mind and I let out a breath of relief. For now, things were okay.
Francesca's secret was safe.
"Are you done?"
He turned to me. "This was really delicious."
"I'm glad."
I kissed one corner of his mouth, then rose to take care of the dishes quickly.
He thought I was going to leave, but I reminded him that I promised to put him to bed and though he insisted I go home and rest, I told him I wasn't one to break the promises I made.
"I'll leave early tomorrow so I can go home and get ready for work," I told him. "It's not that big of a deal."
Several minutes later, we were both in bed. Theo got rid of all his clothes and handed me a cotton shirt for me to wear. It didn't matter how much I tried, I couldn't sleep butt naked. Maybe it was because we used to have so many bugs back home, and I'd always wake up with one or two insects in my bed.
Here, everything was perfectly in order and I doubted that there was a bug anywhere in this house, but that paranoia stayed with me.
What if a spider crawled up my ass or something?
Theo pulled me closer to his side and I adored how his skin felt against mine. His body was warm and I loved how the dusting of hair on his lower abdomen felt beneath my fingertips.
His eyes were closed and his forehead was pressed against mine as I moved my hand lower and lower down his body.
"Putting me to bed, huh?"
I smiled against his lips and wrapped my hand around his hardening length. When I gave his cock a few more strokes and he moaned, I swore my mouth started salivating.
"That's right," I whispered back before crawling under the covers.
"What're you...Fuck."
I ran my tongue all along his length before circling it around his sensItive tip. His cock swelled in my hand, the veils filling with blood and forming a pattern beneath his skin. With my hand still around the base of his cock, I closed my mouth around his tip, sucking my cheeks in the whole time. Theo's control was impressive. He didn't grip my hair and force himself deeper into me. He simply lay back and enjoyed what I was giving him.
"That's it, baby," he groaned. "Your mouth feels so fucking good around my cock."
I could tell he was close because he finally began moving. He began moving against me slowly but intensely and I took all of it. I bobbed my head up and down his length, noisily sucking his cock, and in no time, he came, his cock jerking with every spurt.
I licked him clean before climbing back up, smiling sweetly at him. "Feeling sleepy?"
"Oh, yeah," he smirked. The sight of it sent shivers down my spine. "But first, I need you to sit."
I frowned. "What?"
He gestured at his face and desire zipped down my spine. I clenched my thighs.
"Now, Alice."
I sat up, eyes on his, took my panties off, then straddled his face. His hands went to my ass so he could readjust me and have me right where he wanted me. "Grip the headboard and don't move. Not your hands or your body. Understood?"
"Yeah," I answered breathlessly. Moisture pooled between my legs fast. When he used this tone...it turned me all the way on.
"Don't make me tie you up."
I moaned even when his breath fanned my pussy, and then came his tongue. He dragged it up and down my slit. Sometimes, he'd flick my clit with enough pressure to drive me crazy with the need to come, and other times, he thrust his entire tongue inside me, moving it in and out so expertly that not riding his face felt like an impossibility.
Oh, but I stayed still. It made the experience so much more fun.
When I finally came, my screams echoed.
